Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

Subject: The Weight Limit is 880 #

Mike, I did not understand your post. Maybe I am becomming senile. I support Bob's position. I am not a fan of the weight limit and feel that is is one more thing that effects fleet participation. I personally turned away 8 potential crew for the Midwinters based upon their weight. I had to turn away sailing expertise in favor of low mass.

:: Hi Everyone:

:: votes or some votes changing position, that the weight
:: was and remains a target for some improvement.
